Carol Vorderman’s got a PSP! We’ve also got PSP! This means when we fantasise about meeting her, it’s now loads more realistic because we know what we’ll be talking to her about before we inevitably have sex with her. Sex that we learn lots from because of how old she is.

'A better one please, Carol!'

As gadget enthusiast Carol said ‘I love my PSP, it fits in my handbag and is really handy for someone like me who travels a great deal.’ She adds, ‘I can’t wait to be able to play Sudoku on the PSP where and whenever I want.’

Sudoku has a huge appeal globally and Carol Vorderman Sudoku is perfect for the PSP and PS2 platforms. The additional formats will add a greater offering to Sudoku fans and more ways for them to feed their Sudoku habit’ said Joanne Fawell, European Product Manager, Xplosiv.

As a self-confessed Sudoku addict, the Channel 4 Countdown presenter says: ‘I have become completely obsessed and a bit of a saddo. I love competitions with friends to see who finishes first. I go for the fiendishly hard one and have got my time down from five hours to under twenty minutes.’ She adds, ‘Mind you I’m told off at home, at work and even in the hairdressers for going “into the Sudoku zone” and “not listening to a word anyone says”.’

Sudoku challenges you to fill in the missing numbers in a 9×9 grid. It’s a game of reasoning, that doesn’t require calculating or special math skills – but instead focuses on concentration and brain power
